Discussion
Temperatures should climb to 80+ degrees today with plenty of sunshine around here and then this warm up will peak on Saturday when temperatures climb well into the 80’s. High pressure will build into SE Canada by Sunday and this will result in a back door cold front slipping down the Northeast US coastline bringing cooler conditions to the Philly metro region. On Monday, a strong cold front will approach from the Midwest and it is likely to turn windy and warmer, but then cooler temperatures return on Tuesday following the frontal passage. As far as precipitation is concerned, there can be showers and thunderstorms in the wee hours of the morning and then both weekend days can include a couple of showers and thunderstorms, but most of the time on Saturday and Sunday should be rain-free. Later Monday, as a strong cold front arrives, showers and thunderstorms will become pretty widespread and some of the storms can be on the strong side.
